Play with trucks in a DIY delivery depot!

Know someone who loves to play with toy cars and trucks? This delivery depot is a great play idea that’s easy to set up and includes lots of ways for children to develop their language, reading and maths skills as they play.

This is also a wonderful idea to introduce early algebra concepts!! When the truck goes IN to load take away or add an element. When the truck goes OUT from the parking lot, ask the student what happened.
This is a great activity, especially for boys!! My son, now 10, has struggled with number sense forever, but LOVES cars!! I wish I had thought of this. Thank you for sharing this idea!!

Thank you Carla! Using what kids LOVE is such a great way to introduce learning, isn’t it?

This is a lovely idea. We have two girls but they adore playing with my husbands old matchbox cars. My youngest, 16 months, is loving transferring things from one tub to another so the loading bay would be great for her. Looking forward to making this on the weekend. Thanks!
